PDF-Export of reports with subreports having different orientation

edited April 2007 in General
Hi,

we merge several reports using one mainreport with subreports.

The template we load into the subreports have different orientations
(portrait, landscape).

Previewing and printing of this aggregated report works very well.

The problems arises if we export this report to PDF because the
Acrobat-Reader can't deal with the orientation-change in this file
(also Acrobat can do this in general).

Has anybody experienced this problem before?

Regards,
Josef Gschwendtner

    Hi Josef,

    This is not a known issue. In my quick testing with a simple report and two
    Section style subreports (each set to a different orientation), the PDF
    output from the built-in device showed each page in the proper orientation.
    Perhaps a little more information about how your report is designed and how
    I can recreate the issue on my machine will help me track down the issue.

    Josef:

    It's always worked fine for me--PDFs and all. Which PDF export are you
    using? If it's DM's, you may want to send a demo to them that reproduces
    this.
